UUID Generator

Sometime when coding for ATL, i need to create manually Interface derived from IUnknown. Declaration of Interface derived from IUnknown like below:


[
object,
uuid(9465EAB0-AE53-11DF-94E2-0800200C9A66),
dual,
nonextensible,
helpstring("IInternal Interface"),
pointer_default(unique)
]
interface IInternal : IUnknown{
};


Look at the uuid field. It is a unique (hope) id for this interrface. Forming the uuid refers to RFC 4122. Fortunately, many people has offered a tool to generate it. You can use site below to generate it.
